Maninzi amaKristu, abathi bazalwa ngokutsha baqale ukuhamba emva koMoya, kodwa emva kwexesha kwenzeka into ethile kwaye babuyela kuMnqophiso Omdala baze baqalise ukusebenzisa zonke iintlobo zemithetho, imigaqo, amasiko, imithendeleko, njl. ebomini babo. Kutheni amaKristu ebuyela kumnqophiso omdala? Yintoni ebangela ukuba amaKristu abuyele kumnqophiso omdala?
UThixo wamdala umntu yaye ulwalamano lwakhe nomntu lwalugqibelele
Xa uThixo wadala umntu, ulwalamano phakathi koThixo nomntu lwalugqibelele. UAdam wayengunyana kaThixo, owadalwa emva kwe umfanekiso kaThixo. UThixo wahamba noAdam (indoda) kwaye babenobudlelwane obugqibeleleyo, kanye njengokuba uThixo wayenenjongo yokuba ubuhlobo bakhe nomntu bube njalo. Kwade kwafika ixesha, ukuba uAdam wanikezela ekuhendweni enyameni waza akawuthobela umthetho kaThixo waza wona.. Ngenxa yokungathobeli kwakhe, ubudlelwane phakathi koThixo nomntu baqhawuka. Umntu wawa kwisikhundla sakhe waza waphulukana nolawulo negunya lakhe emhlabeni, athe uThixo wayinika umntu.
Wafa umoya womntu. Ngenxa yoko umntu wayengasenakunxulumana nomoya noThixo, kodwa umntu wayedityaniswe yinyama nomtyholi. Ngenxa yokuthobela komntu umtyholi, isono (ukuthobela i Intando yedemon) yangena, ngesiphumo sokufa, wona ke wona umvuzo wesono sangena salawula sisenyameni yomntu.
Umntu wayengasekho ngokomoya kodwa waba ngowokwenyama nokulawulwa yingqiqo. Kwaye isono nokufa kwalawula enyameni yomntu.
UMtyholi (ubukumkani bobumnyama) wayethabathe ubukhosi negunya lomntu ngobuxoki nangokuhlwayela amathandabuzo. Kuba uAdam wakholwa waza wathobela ubuxoki bukasathana ngaphezu kwenyaniso kaThixo, ingelosi ewileyo uLusifa; umtyholi waba nguyise womntu owileyo.
Umntu owileyo wafakwa ngaphantsi kweengelosi waza waba ebukhobokeni phantsi kweziseko zomhlaba.
Umntu owileyo wafumana indalo efanayo noyise; ingelosi ewileyo uLusifa (UMtyholi). Ke ngoko ubume bomtyholi buya kubakho enyameni yomntu wonke, ngubani oza kuzalwa yimbewu ka-Adam (indoda).
Ngaphandle kothando loluntu, UThixo wafumana indlela yokuba nolwalamano noluntu, de uMesiya afike aze axolelanise umntu noThixo aze abuyisele ulwalamano olwaphukileyo phakathi koThixo nomntu.
Umnqophiso noAbraham neMbewu yakhe
Enziwa ke kuye uAbraham amadinga, nakuyo imbewu yakhe. Akatsho, Nakwimbewu, njengakwabaninzi; kodwa njengenye, Nakwimbewu yakho, onguKristu ke lowo (kwabaseGalati 3:16)
UThixo wawumisa umnqophiso Wakhe noAbraham neMbewu yakhe (UYesu). Ukwaluka enyameni yayo yonke into eyindoda kwakuya kuba ngumqondiso walo mnqophiso. Ulwaluko lwaluluphawu lukaThixo lomnqophiso wakhe nezithembiso zakhe kunye nabantu bakaThixo, yayiluphawu lokuzahlulela kuYe.
Ulwaluko enyameni lwenzeka usuku lwesibhozo (Gen 17:10-11). Nokuba umhla wesibhozo wawungomhla weSabatha, ulwaluko lwalusaqhubeka.
Usuku lwesibhozo lubhekisa kumhla woMnqophiso oMtsha kunye nendalo entsha, nguba ni u Ilukene noKristu, ngokukhulula inyama kubhaptizo lwamanzi (Funda kwakhona 'Kuthetha ukuthini ulwaluko kuKristu??'Kwaye'Ngosuku lwesibhozo, imini yendalo entsha').
iTorah
430 Kwiminyaka emva kwedinga likaThixo kuAbraham neMbewu yakhe, UThixo wabakhulula abantu bakhe kwingcinezelo kaFaro waza wabakhupha abantu bakhe ebukhobokeni wabangenisa kwilizwe ledinga.. UThixo wanyula uMoses njengommeli wakhe waza wabanika abantu bakhe igama Umthetho wesono nokufa.
Umthetho, nto leyo ebhaliweyo kuMthetho (Gen-Deu) wanikwa nguThixo kubantu baKhe bomnqophiso ngokwenyama; Sirayeli , 50 iintsuku emva kwePasika. iTorah, ILizwi likaThixo elibhaliweyo likaThixo, yayiqulethe imiyalelo yendoda endala yenyama, owayebanjwe yinyama enesono.
Wonke umntu, ababeza kuzalwa kwimbewu kaSirayeli babengabantu bakaThixo bomnqophiso, aza aluswa kuwo amadoda, aluswe enyameni ngomhla wesibhozo, ngokomnqophiso wokuqala. Wonke umntu, ababengabantu bakaThixo bomnqophiso ngokwenyama, kwakufuneka ewuthobele aze awugcine umthetho kaMoses ukuze ahambe ngobulungisa.
Umthetho wesono nokufa
Ngomthetho kaMoses uThixo wayenokuba nobudlelwane nendoda endala, olawulayo nohamba emva kwenyama apho kulawula isono nokufa. Yiyo loo nto umthetho ubizwa ngokuba ngumthetho wesono nokufa (I-ROM 8:2)
Kungenxa yokuba umthetho wawuqulethe imiyalelo, ezazenzelwe ixhego, onengqiqo elawulwayo, enemvelo kaMtyholi, ehamba ngokweenkanuko nenkanuko yenyama, Wathi uThixo: “Uze…”.
Kaloku inyama izele likratshi, onemona, ukuzingca, unomona nemvukelo kwaye uzithanda ngakumbi ngoko ngoThixo.
Inyama iyazenza zonke ezo zinto, oko akumkholisiyo uThixo kwaye kulisikizi kuye. Inyama ilandela abanye oothixo, ubuxoki, ukukopela, uyeba, uyakrexeza, ahenyuze;, akathembekanga njl.
Yonke imisebenzi kunye nezenzo, awathi uThixo wawakhankanya emthethweni kaMoses, waba lisikizi kuye, zenziwa ngabantu abawileyo nabahedeni; abeeNtlanga.
UThixo akazange afune ukuba abantu Bakhe babandakanyeke kwimisebenzi yabo engcolileyo nezenzo zobuhedeni.
Ngokunika umthetho, UThixo akazange anele nje ukwazisa intando yakhe kubantu bakhe, kodwa abantu baKhe bafunda Indlela yakhe nokucalula okuhle kwanokubi; ubulungisa nentswela-bulungisa.
Ngokuthobela ububingeleli babaLevi, uwugcina umthetho nemithetho yawo yonke, imithendeleko, izikhumbuzo (ulwaluko), amasiko, imithetho yokutya kunye nemithetho yamadini, UThixo wayenokuba nobudlelwane nabantu bakhe benyama, de uYesu afike akhulule umntu kulawulo, ulawulo nedyokhwe kaMtyholi, olawula esenyameni.
Imithetho elishumi emacwecweni amatye
ITorah yanikelwa nguThixo kwaye yayilungiselelwe indoda endala yenyama, oquka umzimba nomphefumlo. Ekubeni umoya womntu omdala wenyama ufile, uThixo, Ngubani uMoya, wazisa intando yakhe kubantu bakhe ngokubanika umthetho wakhe.
UThixo wabhala imithetho elishumi kwemibini amacwecwe amatye, eyayimele intliziyo yexhego.
Kwakutheni ukuze uThixo abhale imithetho yakhe elishumi kumacwecwe amabini amatye? Imiyalelo, enxulumene noThixo nomthetho wokuqala ‘Thanda uThixo ngaphezu kwazo zonke, ngentliziyo yakho yonke, ingqondo, umphefumlo namandla’ zazibhalwe kwicwecwe lokuqala lelitye. Kwicwecwe lesibini lelitye, UThixo wabhala imiyalelo, ezazinxibelelene nomthetho wesibini othi ‘Uze umthande ummelwane wakho njengawe siqu’.
Kule mithetho yomibini kuxhomekeke umyalelo uphela nabaprofeti (Mat 22:40).
Intlawulelo yenyama yomntu omdala
Nguwo lo ngumnqophiso endiza kuyenza ngendlu kaSirayeli,, utsho uYehova; Ndiza kubeka imithetho yam ezingqondweni zabo, babhale ezintliziyweni zabo: Kwaye ndiza kuba nguThixo, Kwaye baya kuba ngabantu bam: Abayi kufundisa wonke umntu ummelwane wakhe, Kwaye wonke umntu umntakwabo, esithi, Yazi iNkosi: kuba bonke baya kwazi, ukusuka ubuncinci ukuya kwelona likhulu. Kuba ndiya kuba nemfesane ngenxa yobuswela-bulungisa, Izono zabo, nobugwenxa babo andiyi kuba sakukhumbula. Ngaloo nto athi, Umnqophiso omtsha, Wenze indala yokuqala. Ke kaloku, ngokokudela, badala, bakulungele ukunqanda (IsiHebhere 8:10-13)
Kuyo yonke iBhayibhile, UThixo waprofeta ngayo Ukuza uMesiya, umnqophiso omtsha nokuza koMoya oyiNgcwele, Ngubani owayeza kuhlala emntwini omtsha (Owu. IGenesis 3:15, Iindumiso 22; 16:10, uIsaya 7:14; 53:4-12, UYeremiya 31:33-34; 32:40, UHezekile 11:19-21; 34; 36:25-28; 37, IsiHebhere 8:10-13; 10:15-16).
UYesu Krestu wayeya kukhulula umntu enyameni yakhe, apho kulawula isimo sesono sikaMtyholi.
UThixo wathembisa ukufaka umoya omtsha ngaphakathi komntu aze athabathe intliziyo yelitye kumntu omdala aze anike intliziyo entsha yenyama, ekuya kubhalwa kuyo imithetho kaThixo. Esi sithembiso sazaliseka ngokuza koMoya oyiNgcwele.
UMoya oyiNgcwele uhlala kwisidalwa esitsha kwaye ufumene indalo kaThixo, ke ngoko intando kaThixo ibhaliwe entliziyweni yomntu omtsha.
Umthetho yayingutishala wendoda endala
Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba kufike ukholo, Sagcinwa phantsi komthetho, valela elukholweni ekufuneka lutyhilwe. Ngenxa yoko umthetho wawusisikolo sethu ukuba asizise kuKrestu, ukuze sigwetyelwe ngokholo. Kodwa emva kokuba ukholo lufikile, Asisekho phantsi komphathi wesikolo. Kuba nina nonke ningoonyana bakaThixo ngako ukukholwa, nikuKristu Yesu;. Kuba nina nonke, nabhaptizelwayo kuKristu, namambatha uKristu. Akukho mYuda namGrike, akukho khoboka nakhululekileyo, akusekho ndoda nankazana: kuba nina nonke nimntu mnye, nikuKristu Yesu (kwabaseGalati 3:23-29)
Umthetho nayo yonke imithetho kaThixo, ezibhalwe kwiTorah zazingumfundisi wendoda endala. Ukuze ixhego, olawulwa yingqondo, ophila ngokwenyama, baya kukwazi ukuthanda kukaThixo nendlela yakhe, nangokugcina umthetho, umntu ebeya kukhonza uThixo aze ahambe ngobulungisa.
ITorah yayilungiselelwe inyama yexhego. Kodwa ekubeni inyama ebethelelwe emnqamlezweni kuKristu, ngokuvuselela kwakhona, inyama ayisenabomi kodwa ikukufa, kwaye ke iTorah ayisasebenzi kumntu omtsha, odla ubomi ngokoMoya.
Umntu omtsha ungcwele kwaye ulilungisa ngoYesu Kristu
UThixo unike wonke umntu amandla okuba akhululwe enyameni yendoda endala, nayo yonke iminqweno yayo, iminqweno, ubugwenxa nesono, Ngokukholwa kuYesu Krestu kwaye Umsebenzi wakhe wokukhulula emnqamlezweni, nangokuzalwa ngokutsha kuKristu, ukuze indalo endala ibe yindalo entsha; unyana kaThixo.
Isidalwa esitsha asisengomkhonzi kodwa senziwe unyana kaThixo, ongcwaliswayo nolilungisa nguThixo Umsebenzi ogqibeleleyo kaYesu Krestu negazi lakhe.
Indoda entsha, ozelwe yiMbewu kaThixo waza waba ngumoya, uya kuhamba emva koMoya kwaye akayi kuphinda alawulwe ziimvakalelo zakhe, iimvakalelo, iimvakalelo, iinkanuko, kunye neminqweno, abalawula enyameni.
Intando kaThixo ibe yintando yesidalwa esitsha kuba isidalwa esitsha sizelwe nguye kwaye sinendalo yakhe.
Ngenxa yoko, umntu omtsha uya kuba Gqibezela umthetho, njengoYesu, Ngubani na iLizwi eliphilileyo likaThixo waza wazalisekisa umthetho ngokuhamba emva koMoya, Emva kwentando kaThixo.
Ubudlelwane phakathi kukaThixo nomntu bubuyiselwe kuKristu
Ubudlelwane obugqibeleleyo, awathi uThixo ekuqalekeni kuAdam, wabuyiselwa ngoYesu Kristu. KuYesu Krestu umntu waxolelaniswa noThixo kwaye uThixo wayenokuba nobudlelwane ngoMoya oyiNgcwele nomntu omtsha; Unyana wakhe.
ITorah ayinakuphinda isetyenziswe kumntu omtsha, ohamba emva koMoya. Ekubeni iTorah yayilungiselelwe indoda endala, ohamba emva kwenyama kwaye wafa kuYesu Kristu.
Ekuphela kwento yeTorah esasebenzayo nesasebenzayo kukuthanda kukaThixo, esaziswe kuthi ngayo imithetho yakhe ngoYesu; iLizwi kunye nokuhlala koMoya oyiNgcwele.
Indalo entsha ikhululekile ekugwetyweni
Ke ngoko akukho kugwetywa kwabakuKristu Yesu,, abangahambiyo emva kwenyama, kodwa emva komoya (AmaRoma 8:1)
UmKrestu ozelwe ngokutsha, othe wangcwaliswa, wamalungisa kuKristu, wahamba ngemithetho yakhe ngokoMoya, akahlali ngoloyiko phantsi kwesigwebo, ekhoyo enyameni. Umntu ukhululwe kumthetho wesono nokufa, esebenzayo enyameni, nge ukubeka phantsi yinyama nokuhamba ngokoMoya nomthetho woMoya.
Ngalo lonke ixesha inyama ihlala ifile, akukho kugwetywa. Kodwa kamsinya nje akuba umntu ebuyele ebukumkanini bobumnyama aze enze imisebenzi yomntu omdala wenyama aze aphile ngokwenyama esonweni., i Umthetho wesono nokufa umntu uya kuphila ngoloyiko, iimvakalelo zokuziva unetyala kunye nokugwetywa.
50 Kwiintsuku emva kwePasika, UThixo wenza intando yakhe yaziwe kuyo yomibini iminqophiso
KuMnqophiso oMdala, UThixo wazisa intando yakhe kubantu bakhe 50 iintsuku emva kwePasika, ngokunika iTorah kubantu baKhe bomnqophiso wenyama, owayengowesizukulwana esenyameni somntu owileyo; ixhego (Umthendeleko weShavuot).
Kumnqophiso omtsha, UThixo wazisa intando yakhe kubantu bakhe 50 iintsuku emva kwePasika, ngokunika uMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele kubantu bakhe bomnqophiso wasemoyeni, owayengowesizukulwana somoya somntu omtsha (Funda kwakhona 'Ubusazi….. 50 Kwiintsuku emva kwePasika')
Umntu omtsha uzelwe nguThixo, waba ngunyana kaThixo, wahlala enkululekweni ngokoMoya, ethobela uKristu. Ekubeni umntu omtsha uye waba ngunyana kaThixo, Umoya wobunyana uhlala ngaphakathi komntu omtsha, obiza uAbha ngokuthi nguBawo (I-ROM 8:15, Gal 4:4-7).
Kutheni amaKristu ebuyela kumnqophiso omdala?
Nangona kunjalo, Maninzi amaKristu, abazelwe ngokutsha babe sisidalwa esitsha baze baqale kakuhle, kodwa uthe chu ubuyela kuMnqophiso oMdala nakuyo yonke imithetho yawo, imigaqo, amasiko, imithendeleko, imithetho kwaye isetyenziswe kuMnqophiso oMtsha kwisidalwa esitsha. Kodwa asiyondlela uThixo afuna ukuba kube yiyo.
Yonke imithendeleko, amasiko, amadini, imigaqo, imimiselo nobubingeleli, owawungowoMnqophiso oMdala, bangabikho kuMnqophiso oMtsha. Kukho isizathu sokuba ubizwe ngokuba nguMnqophiso oMdala.
Ukuba uMnqophiso oMtsha ngumnqophiso ongcono kwaye uthathe indawo yoMnqophiso oMdala, kutheni amakholwa amaninzi ebuyela kuMnqophiso oMdala aze asebenzise imithendeleko, imigaqo, imigaqo, izikhumbuzo, amasiko, ezazilungiselelwe abantu bakaThixo bokwenyama uSirayeli, ebomini babo? Emva koko bafanele bayigcine imithetho yamadini baze baqalise kwakhona ukubingelela ngezilwanyana.
UPawulos wawalumkisa izihlandlo ezininzi amakholwa, walibuza ibandla ukuba kwenzeke ntoni na kubo, nokuba kutheni na bemka kuMoya besiya ngokwenyama, baphuma kuwo umnqophiso omtsha, basiya kwimimiselo nemigaqo yomnqophiso omdala. (Owu. Gal 2; 3:1-5).
Inye into, engatshintshanga yinxalenye yokuziphatha yomthetho, Eyimithetho kaThixo, oko kumele intando yaKhe nobume bakhe.
Intando kaThixo kuyafana nakumthetho wesono nokufa, ebhekisa ku – kwaye usebenza enyameni yomntu omdala wenyama, njengoko kusemthethweni woMoya, elibhekisa lize lisebenze kumoya womntu omtsha, enjalo.
Ukuba awufundi kwaye ufunde iTestamente eNdala kuMoya kunye nengqondo kaKristu kodwa kwinyama kunye nengqondo yenyama, kukho utshintsho olukhulu ozakuhendwa ulahlekiswe ubuyele kumnqophiso omdala ubeke idyokhwe ngokugcina yonke imigidi, amasiko, imithendeleko kwaye uyisebenzise ebomini bakho, ngelixa angazenzelwe wena, abathe baba sisidalwa esitsha, kodwa zenzelwe indalo endala yenyama, ababephuma ngokwemvelo kubantu bakaThixo bomnqophiso bakwaSirayeli.
Oonyana bokwenene bakaThixo bahamba kuMnqophiso oMtsha kwaye bamisela umthetho
KuMnqophiso Omtsha, yonke into ngawe ndaluswe kuYesu Kristu nokuba nibe sisidalwa esitsha kuKristu (AmaRoma 8:9-17, KwabaseKolose 2:9-12, kwabaseGalati 6:15, uTito 3:5-7).
Ukuba uthe waba sisidalwa esitsha kuKrestu kwaye uMoya kaKristu uhlala ngaphakathi kuwe, ngoko ke ningabakhe nize niyigcine imiyalelo yakhe nihambe ngokwelizwi noMoya niwumise umthetho.
Amakholwa, abakhokelwa nguMoya kaThixo kwaye baphila ngokwentando kaYise ebulungiseni, bangoonyana bakaThixo bokwenene.
‘Yibani yityuwa yehlabathi’
